Interesting, when a 16 YO hacks into a site and brings it down, it is mentioned every 5 mins. on CNBC...Yet, when Mr Softy,,,finds a "glitch" ( I must have my definitions confused) in their software,,I hear one quick little mention on CNBC..Is this not news worthy? Are glitch and secret phrase included, interchangeable terms?
""Microsoft software glitch may allow access to Web sites.
REDMOND, Wash.--Microsoft said its engineers included a secret phrase, "Netscape engineers are weenies," in some software that could be used to gain illicit access to hundreds of thousands of Internet sites worldwide, according to reports."
